It could be a 1979 (the target grip and shrouded ejector rod). It could be an earlier Diamondback (worth more NIB, but less w/o a box and paperwork). They were made from 1966-1991.

You should make some better pictures of the revolver (and a couple after removing the stocks [grips]). A collector needs to inspect the frame w/o the stocks for possible condensation damage.

I collect older Colt and S&W revolvers. I bought this NIB S&W, never fired, 1978 Model 34 a few days ago:


It's a 3-screw with matching stocks (the rear number on the stocks show the same ser. number as the gun).

That Diamondback is worth $800-$1250 (depending on the details).
